However, users would be able to get Apple Intelligence basic features like the Writing Tool and the Reduce Interruptions focus mode with the later iOS 18.1 update. It is expected to be released by the end of October.

Apple October Event Uncertain

A recent 9to5Mac report has hinted Apple’s October event might just not happen after all.

Apple usually launched new iPhones and Apple Watch models in September and  Mac with a potential iPad in October. Based on this tradition, everyone was expecting an update on the October event soon.

Math Notes in the Calculator app brings an intuitive way to do math, allowing users to type or write out math to evaluate expressions and assign variables.

The rumoured products expected to launch in the October event included the M4 MacBook Pro, the M4 Mac mini, the M4 iMac and the iPad mini.

The powerful Smart Script handwriting tools can refine handwritten notes and even paste typed text in one’s own handwriting.

However, Apple today unveiled a new iPad mini with Apple Intelligence support. With this announcement, the chances of Apple hosting an event in October just look slim now.

The tablet has 12 megapixels rear camera with True Tone flash.

This is mainly because now iPad Mini is already out and with what we know about the M4 Macs, there’s not much to announce anyway. The MacBook Pros too aren’t getting redesigned. These most likely will get a new chip and some minor upgrades. The M4 iMac is expected to get new USB-C accessories.

Taking advantage of the larger display on iPad, the Photos app receives its biggest redesign yet.

With so less to announce, the 9ToMac report suggests that Apple might unveil the remaining expected products with a simple press release only.

Apple has been clear about the iPhone 16 series in many ways. The Cupertino Giant has main the beginning maintained that the 16 Series is “built for Apple intelligence.” One of the main minimum hardware requirements for Apple Intelligence is 8GB RAM. So, we have got the entire range of the iPhone 16 series including iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max with 8GB configurations.

iPhone 16 isn’t the first iPhone to have 8 GB RAM. Previously, we have seen 8GB RAM in iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models as well.

Now, you would assume this is the highest RAM we will get in an iPhone for some time including the upcoming iPhones. But it appears Apple has plans to take things further.

iPhone 17 Pro Max May Get 12GB of RAM

That iPhone 17 Pro Max may get 12 GB RAM is not a new update. For those who aren’t aware, Supply Chain Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had previously suggested that the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro Max could feature 12GB of RAM.

Initially, it was believed this upgrade would only apply to the Pro Max model. This if is true then it would be the first that Apple will have different RAM for both Pro models of a line.

Now a more recent source has suggested a similar update when it comes to RAM in the iPhone 17 Pro Max model.

Weibo user Mobile phone chip expert has recently suggested in one of their posts that at least one iPhone 18 model will switch to a new and denser chip packaging method and that this would include 12GB RAM. These advancements are expected to be driven by a 2nm processor, dubbed the A20, which could launch in 2026.

Weibo user Mobile Phone Chip Expert’s recent post on future iPhones.

“The 2nm processor A20 of the 2026 Apple iPhone will adopt a new packaging method. APTS has been changed from the original InFo to the WMCM packaging method. Memory will also be upgraded to 12GB, and the whole network will be announced 2 years in advance,” Mobile Phone Chip Expert posted on Weibo. (Translated via Google Translate.)

Apple’s chipmaker, TSMC, is leading the development of this new technology. They are working on integrating various components—such as the CPU, GPU, and RAM—into a single unit, a method called System-on-a-Chip (SoC).

The 2nm chip technology will likely debut in Apple’s 2026 iPhone lineup.

Will All iPhone 17 Series Models Get 12GB RAM?

It’s not entirely clear if all future iPhones will get 12GB of RAM.

However, based on certain reports it appears to be likely that both iPhone 18 Pro models will.  The non-Pro iPhone models may also get a boost in RAM. Meanwhile, the chips in these iPhones may be less advanced compared to the Pro models.

FAQs

Q1. What is the minimum RAM requirement for Apple Intelligence?

Answer. One of the main minimum hardware requirements for Apple Intelligence is 8GB RAM, which is present in the entire iPhone 16 series including iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max.

Q2. What is the expected RAM configuration for the iPhone 17 Pro Max?

Answer. Supply Chain Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggested that the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro Max could feature 12GB of RAM.

Q3. What new technology is Apple expected to use in its 2026 iPhone lineup?

Answer. The 2nm processor, dubbed the A20, will adopt a new packaging method, integrating components into a single unit called System-on-a-Chip (SoC). This could include 12GB RAM for at least one iPhone 18 model.

Q4.Will iPhone 18 Use Enhanced 2nm Chip Tech Integrating 12GB RAM ?

Answer. Apple’s 2026 iPhones will use TSMC’s next-generation 2-nanometer fabrication process in combination with a new packaging method that will integrate 12GB of RAM, a reputable source of accurate predictions about Apple’s plans has claimed.
In a Weibo post on Tuesday, Chinese-language user “Phone Chip Expert” said Apple’s A20 chip in iPhone 18 models will switch from the previous InFo (Integrated Fan-Out) packaging to WMCM (Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Module) packaging, while memory will be upgraded to 12GB.

Q5.What are differences in packaging method between Info & WMCM?

Answer. In terms of the differences in packaging method, InFo allows integration of components, including memory, within the package but focuses more on single-die packaging where memory is typically attached to the main SoC (such as DRAM placed on top or near the CPU and GPU cores). It’s optimized for reducing the size and improving the performance of individual chips.

WMCM, on the other hand, excels at integrating multiple chips within the same package (hence the “Multi-Chip Module” part). This method allows more complex systems, such as CPUs, GPUs, DRAM, and other custom accelerators (e.g., AI/ML chips) to be tightly integrated in one package. It provides greater flexibility in arranging different types of chips, stacking them vertically or placing them side by side, while also optimizing communication between them.

Q6.What is the memory on iPhone 16 models ?

Answer. As for memory, all current iPhone 16 models feature 8GB of RAM, which is considered to be the minimum requirement for Apple Intelligence. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has said he expects next year’s iPhone 17 Pro to feature 12GB of RAM, so it could be that Apple will make it a new standard across the succeeding iPhone 18 series.

Q7.What are nanometer generations ?

Answer .Terms like “3nm” and “2nm” describe generations of chip manufacturing technology, each with its own set of design rules and architecture. As these numbers decrease, they generally indicate smaller transistor sizes. Smaller transistors allow more to be packed onto a single chip, typically resulting in increased processing speed and improved power efficiency. This year’s iPhone 16 series is based on an A18 chip design built using a second-generation “N3E” 3nm process.
TSMC plans to start manufacturing 2nm chips in late 2025, and Apple is expected to be the first company to receive chips built on the new process. TSMC generally builds new fabs when it needs to increase production capacity to handle significant orders for chips, and TSMC is expanding in a major way for 2nm technology.

Q8.How is the track record of “Phone Chip Expert”?

Answer .The leaker “Phone Chip Expert” has a track record of accurate predictions. They were first to correctly reveal that the standard iPhone 14 models would continue to use the A15 Bionic chip, while the more advanced A16 chip would be exclusive to the ‌iPhone 14‌ Pro models. More recently, they were the first source of information about Apple developing its own AI server processor using TSMC’s 3nm process, targeting mass production by the second half of 2025.

If you compare this with the upcoming OnePlus 13, the Realme GT 7 Pro global version seems to be winning. OnePlus 13 is rumoured to feature a BOE X2 display with a peak brightness of 1600 nits. This is similar to what we have seen in Realme GT 5 Pro previously.

This peak brightness also known as High Brightness Mode (HBM) represents how bright the screen can get in direct sunlight. It is an important spec for visibility in outdoor settings.

Tipster Digital Chat Station also revealed that the manual peak brightness for the Realme GT 7 Pro will remain at 1000 nits.

Meanwhile, details about the local peak brightness were not shared. This is regarding the small parts of the display when watching HDR content.

Realme GT 7 Pro Global Version – Key Specs (Rumoured)

The Realme GT 7 Pro is expected to be powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 or Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.  The chipset has already been making headlines for its performance on Geekbench score.

However, many experts online have raised concerns about the chipset’s power efficiency and heat management. It uses a new core architecture and has clocks up to 4.32GHz.

It was earlier reported that the CPU reached temperatures over 98°C during normal use. If this report is true then thermal management could become a challenge for the manufacturer.

Apart from this, many 2024 flagship phones are expected to have the Dimensity 9400 with larger batteries. This will give tough competition to the upcoming smartphone.

Moreover, Digital Chat Station also suggested that the global version of Realme GT 7 Pro will have the largest battery ever in a Realme phone. It is expected to exceed the 6,000mAh battery capacity.

It will be a six-cell battery setup that allows for faster charging as well. According to its 3C listing, the phone is also expected to come with a 120W charger.

Realme has reportedly also adopted silicon-carbon anode battery technology.

This helps in keeping the device slim and lightweight.

The Realme GT 5 Pro was launched exclusively in China in December last year. We are hoping for a launch at a similar time this year. More details about the official release of the GT 7 Pro and specs are expected to emerge soon.

FAQs

Q1. What display features are expected for the Realme GT 7 Pro global version?

Answer. The smartphone will reportedly feature a customized Samsung display with a peak brightness of 2000 nits, an upgrade from the 1600 nits of Realme GT 5 Pro.

Q2. What chipset is the Realme GT 7 Pro expected to use?

Answer. The Realme GT 7 Pro is expected to be powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 or Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which has raised concerns about power efficiency and heat management.

Answer. The global version of Realme GT 7 Pro will have the largest battery ever in a Realme phone, expected to exceed 6,000mAh capacity, with a six-cell battery setup and 120W charger.

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) is all set to take legal action against WhatsApp for allegedly violating competition laws related. The popular messaging app reportedly allowed specific user data to be shared with Meta. This raises concerns over both user privacy and competition fairness.

The issue is from 2021 when WhatsApp introduced an update to its privacy policy. Reports of WhatsApp sharing certain user data with Meta caused widespread concern in the country. Many WhatsApp users feared it would compromise user privacy.

The actions left a damaging impact on competition and privacy.

In response to the recent allegation, a WhatsApp spokesperson said, “CCI proceedings are sub-judice, and we can’t comment on it. WhatsApp gave users the choice of accepting the Privacy Policy Update, and users who chose not to accept the update continue to use WhatsApp to communicate with friends and family without having their accounts deleted or losing functionality.”

The case highlights the growing concern over data privacy. It also underlines the role of big tech companies in shaping competition in digital markets.

According to the Competition Act revision in 2023, CCI is allowed to slap penalties of up to 10% of the average turnover for the preceding three financial years on guilty companies.

WhatsApp gave users the choice of accepting the Privacy Policy Update, and users who chose not to accept the update continue to use WhatsApp to communicate with friends and family without having their accounts deleted or losing functionality.”

According to multiple media reports, Gmail users are now facing a new threat in which AI is being used to drive phishing attacks. Hackers are now adopting machine learning technology to generate emails that look similar to authentic communications.

These emails are convincing and can put billions of Gmail users at risk. Here’s everything we know about the latest Gmail scams –

What Are AI-Generated Phishing Emails Harder to Detect?

Firstly, AI-generated phishing emails usually have a lot of personal information including the receiver’s name, address or sometimes even details from past interactions. All this works in making the email seem highly authentic.

The attackers usually create the emails in such a way that receivers click on malicious links or share sensitive information. This includes leaking login credentials or payment details as well.

What makes this attack even more dangerous is the addition of fake phone calls from Google Assistant.

The caller often claims the call is from Google. Moreover, you may also receive a follow-up email that will look and sound genuine.

Here are some warning signs to look out for in email –

  • You receive a Google account recovery notification that you didn’t initiate.
  • Google doesn’t contact users directly unless you have a Google Business Profile, so unsolicited calls are suspicious.
  • The email you receive may have a “To” address that isn’t connected to a Google domain.
  • Check your account for any unusual active sessions—there should be none apart from your own.
  • Email headers might show how the email was spoofed, so it’s important to review them carefully.
  • Reverse searching the number may reveal others who received similar scam calls.

How to Protect Yourself from AI-Powered Phishing Emails?

  • Be wary of requests for personal information: Legitimate companies will never ask for sensitive information like passwords or credit card details via email.
  • Verify the sender’s email address: Even small changes in the email address can indicate a phishing attempt.
  • Check links before clicking: Hover over links to see where they lead. If it looks suspicious or unfamiliar, don’t click.
  • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA): Adding this extra security step makes it harder for hackers to access your account, even if they have your password.
  • Keep your software up to date: Regularly updating your antivirus, browser, and operating system helps protect against potential vulnerabilities.

You can save yourself from AI-powered phishing emails by staying alert and following the above-mentioned tips.

Moreover, always be cautious when receiving unexpected calls or emails, especially those asking for personal details.

CERT-In Advisory Android & Chrome

Meanwhile, in two recent advisories number CIVN-2024-0319 and CIVN-2024-0318, CERT-In highlighted multiple high-severity vulnerabilities in Google Chrome and Android operating systems.

These vulnerabilities expose millions of Android and Gmail users to cyberattacks enabling cybercriminals to execute arbitrary codes.

In a similar case, a retired university professor was duped out of Rs. 75 lakhs. The scammers pretending officers from the Enforcement Directorate.

These scams are part of a larger trend where fraudsters use intimidation and fear to trick people into giving away their money.

How Do Digital Arrest Scammers Operate?

What makes this recently popular Digital Arrest scam so effective is how well-prepared the scammers are.

The scammers use rehearsed scripts and create convincing setups including showing fake police stations on video calls. All this makes the experience seem more real.

Scammers also use the publicly available information. This includes phone numbers and bank account details, which makes it convincing for people to believe they are from real authorities.

Protecting Yourself from the Digital Arrest Scam

The important thing is to stay informed about current fraud tactics if want to stay safe from these types of scams.

It is often advised to look out for official government statements that can clarify such situations.

The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) even issued a statement earlier this year warning people about scammers threatening to disconnect their mobile numbers or claim they are linked to criminal activities.

Tip to protect yourself –

  • Avoid answering unknown calls especially those from foreign country codes.
  • Hang up immediately and block the number if you hear a pre-recorded message about deactivating your phone number.

  • Users can unlock the full potential of fast charging via hidden settings.
  • Regular use of maximum fast charging can shorten battery life.

Almost all Xiaomi smartphones today come equipped with impressive fast charging speeds.

However, the company limits the charging speed by default in order to protect the battery’s health. Have you ever wondered if your Xiaomi phone can actually charge faster than it currently does?

Well, there is always no harm in exploring the maximum fast charging capacity for your Xiaomi phones if you can.

It can be helpful in situations when you need to quickly charge your device and have a really short time in hand.

In this post, we are sharing a step-by-step guide on how to charge your Xiaomi phone faster.

Once you go through this post, you will know every detail of how you can unlock the full potential of fast charging with just a few simple steps.

Unlock Maximum Fast Charging on Xiaomi Phones

First of all, you will need an app called HyperOS Downloader to unlock your Xiaomi phone’s fastest charging capabilities.

This app is available for free and helps you access hidden system settings. It also provides information about the updates on your device.

The easy steps to enable the highest fast charging speeds are as follows –

  • Tap on Boost Charging Speed and you’ll be directed to a new menu.
  • Once the new menu pops on the screen, you’ll need to enable the “Increase charging speed” option.

Once you enable this setting, your Xiaomi phone will unlock its maximum fast charging capacity.

If you’re experiencing slower-than-expected charging speeds, a simple restart of your Xiaomi smartphone may help resolve the issue.

It is important to note that fast charging speed completely depends on the model of the phone. Whether your device supports 120W, 67W or any other charging speed. When you enable the settings, it will allow you to use the highest possible speed.

Why Does Xiaomi Limit Charging Speeds?

Most Xiaomi smartphones come equipped with fast charging technology, but it may not be enabled by default.

Xiaomi always puts a limit on the maximum charging speed of Xiaomi phones by default. This is usually done to make sure the battery’s health remains good for a longer period of time.

Regular smartphone users should note that high-speed charging often generates extra heat inside the device. This can eventually impact battery performance with time.

The phone avoids unnecessary strain during everyday use by limiting the charging speed.

When to Use Maximum Fast Charging?

When it comes to charging your smartphone, using a wall socket with the dedicated charger provided by the manufacturer is generally the faster.

It can be really helpful to unlock maximum fast charging during situations where you need a quick power boost. The fast charging feature surely gives you a quick and convenient solution.

However, it is important to use this option cautiously.

If you start charging your Xiaomi phone regularly at full speed, it can shorten the battery’s life over time.

Q4.How is the design of realme narzo 70 turbo 5G?

Answer. The “eye-catching Motorsport-inspired design” of Realme Narzo 70 Turbo is exactly that – eye-catching.

We had the Turbo Green colour variant for this review and it is something that we never go unnoticed in your hands. The phone is lightweight and slim, which adds to the overall ease of handling. This is also a plus for gamers to get a comfortable gaming experience.

The back of the phone is shiny and changes colour when tilted in different directions. The finish is smooth. We especially loved the camera module, which is both neat and not intruding at all. The steel frame around the camera phone looks stylish.

It comes with something called 2.8D equal-depth micro-curve design. This gives the back cover of the phone curved edges that merge with the middle frame smoothly.

It comes with an IP65 rating, so you can wave off some worry for dust & water splashes.

Overall, we loved the design of the phone. As for colour options, in case the Turbo Green is not something you instantly like, Realme is also releasing Turbo Yellow and Turbo Purple colours that are worth checking out.

Q5.What is exceptional about the display of realme narzo 70 turbo ?

Answer. The colour reproduction is fantastic though. With 16.7 million colours and a 106% NTSC colour gamut, it brings everything to life. Again an advantage for gamers.

The Pro-XDR display technology also enhances the visual quality. It makes images and videos look more detailed.

As for durability, the screen is protected by AG DT Star 2 glass and has a Protective Film Touch.

Q6.How is the battery life of realme narzo 70 turbo 5G?

Answer. The Realme Narzo 70 Turbo 5G is packed with a 5000mAh battery and 45W ultra-fast charging. To be honest, this is basic for a decently good gaming phone. But Realme works well with these specifications.

On a full charge, the phone easily supports up to 9 hours of continuous use or even hours of heavy gameplay. It is one last tickmark that makes it ideal for gamers.

The plus point here is you can get up to 1.7 hours of gameplay with just a quick 10-minute charge — perfect for those last-minute gaming sessions.

Realme also built in 38 safety protections like overvoltage and overcurrent protection, ensuring the battery is safe and reliable. Even after 1600 full charge cycles, the battery still retains 80% capacity. This mainly means it is durable for up to 4 years, which is great for long-term use.
